Guides to A Marriage Deal: Love, Power and Deception .

One deal.

A stolen name. A fake identity.

And a Lord who changes everything.



Lyanna Vale was born a noble… until her family was stripped of their name, land, and place in society. Now, she lives in a forgotten cottage at the edge of the woods, nursing her ailing father and surviving on the ashes of memory.



Desperate to save him, Lyanna returns to the one place she swore never to go — the gates of House Valeborne. But instead of mercy, she is given a cruel choice: marry the ruthless Duke of Esten under her cousin’s name… or watch her father die.



Trapped in a dangerous lie, Lyanna agrees — only for fate to twist again.



Before the Duke can claim her, a mysterious Lord steps in. Powerful. Sharp-eyed. Unbending. And with him comes a new name, a new identity, and a plan of his own. He takes her with him, claiming her as his intended — and turning her world upside down.



Now entangled in a web of deception, political power plays, and rising emotions, Lyanna — now Lady Eliza Rowell of Drakemeir — must survive the lies, navigate high society, protect her secret, and uncover the truth behind the downfall of her family.



But what began as a deal for survival becomes something far more dangerous…

When hearts get involved.
